Description

Casino Royale (MGM, 2006). Screen Used $500,000 Casino
Plaque (3" X 4.24" X 1/8").
After much controversy and speculation on whether Daniel Craig was
a suitable replacement for James Bond, this action packed
installment, based upon the first Ian Fleming/Bond novel, was
released to critical acclaim and the naysayers silenced. Craig was
here to stay and 007 was back as lethal as the world has ever seen
him. Offered in this lot is an official screen used casino poker
plaque in the denomination of $500,000. These chip plaques were
made uniquely for the poker scenes where James Bond 007 beats Le
Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen) culminating in one final pot of $115
Million, at a high-stakes tournament at the Hotel Splendide's
Casino Royale's Salle Privé. Made in very limited quantity and
created especially for the film, 125 of each color, for the film by
EON Productions of which the production company has kept the great
majority in their vault. Produced by Bourgogne et Grasset, the
French casino chip manufacturers founded in 1923. They are
BG-modified "nacre" style plaques. This ultra-high-value plaque is
pearlescent red with translucent black and gold. The text "Casino
Royale Montenegro" in black and gold and the value of $500,000 is
printed on both sides of the chip. And "Montenegro" and the BG logo
and design plate appear printed in gold, on both sides of this
plaque. Bourgogne et Grasset standard security features are
present, including transparent plaque lunettes. Shown in these
photos, see-through casino plaque lunettes glow and cast light when
held in front of a light source. Very scarce to find. Near Mint+.
